This is the file in question, https://dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/TexasCOVID-19HospitalizationsOverTimebyTSA.xlsx
This is a hosted xlsx which I've used a solution similar to this one.
However, this xlsx file has grown rather large and now getting 414 "Request too large". I really am only concerned with one tab in the original xlsx file.
Does anyone know of a way to parse the xlsx file prior to upload to grab a single sheet?

We are generating large XLSX documents (only data) and we have template XLSX (styles, image, etc...).
I know XLSX is just zip, you can extract them look what is inside.
It's possible somehow to copy styles & formatting from template XLSX file to generated XLSX document (copy xl/styles.xml file and zip that again is not enough). Excel complains the file is not ok, so I think there are some consistency checks?...
Thanks
We built a Python-based tool to copy XLSX styles from one sheet to another, allowing you to essentially template the visual design of a spreadsheet and apply it to new data.

I have a google account that uses the save emails and attachments add-on.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-emails-and-attachmen/nflmnfjphdbeagnilbihcodcophecebc?hl=en
The email account only receives excel sheets as attachments, and those are saved to a specific folder automatically.
Is it possible to have those sheets converted automatically to google sheets upon save (or after save). Currently, I have to open the file with google sheets to convert it.
I have tried setting the folder to Convert uploaded files to Google Docs editor format, but that doesn't work for this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

if you're wishing to do this with the Drive API, then you can do so using the examples given in Upload Files, see the section headed Importing to Google Docs types. Essentially, by setting the source file MIME type to application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet and that of the new file to application/vnd.google-apps.spreadsheet, this indicates that the conversion is required on upload.
In GoogleDocs, I'm trying to use an import function (e.g. =importdata) to extract data from or open an online XLSX file. An example would be the url below:

Ideally I want this to automatically upload this file everytime I open google sheets. The data comes back corrupted however it does mention a .xml location.
in my organization we work with Google Apps but we have one file that we need to maintain in Excel due to its complexity. All my other spreadsheets are Google Sheets and a lot of them need to get data from that excel file. So my question is: is there a way either trough google scripts or excel publishing to get data from an excel file in Google Drive to a Google Sheet?
I know all about the other direction, Google to Excel, but Excel to Google is proven more complicated. Any help would be much appreciated.
im giving you an algorithmic-level answer without code because you also have none.
with apps script you can import the xls to drive as a new spreadsheet at regular intervals. then, copy its contents to a fixed spreadsheet (replacing previous content).
other spreadsheets can read from that fixed sprradaheet with scripts/importrange etc.
I am downloading an excel attachment from an email using a tool and converting that file to CSV Using VB Script. The problem I am facing is, after converting the file to CSV, when I try to open the file using notepad, it shows boxes instead of the correct data. But the same file if opened using an excel then it returns the correct data.
But if I create a mew CSV file and open it with notepad I am not facing this problem. kindly help me !!!
Without looking at your script, I would guess that the file is simply renamed to a .csv file - but not actually converted! This way, you would end up seeing the binary data in Notepad.
Try to open the original Excel file in Excel - and there save it as .csv. This will surely work, i.e. you'll see the data in Notepad.
If that does not help, please share your script.
